Early Scan experience

Just back from my early private scan. I've seen mixed opinions about having early scans on here which left me feeling really anxious before going and questioning whether it is a good idea at all. Now I've had it I would definetly recommend others to get one too if you're particularly anxious FTM (first time mum) like me (12 weeks is a long wait!😂

Thought i was 6 4 But actually 8 5! It cost £80 but worth every penny to see the little bean beating away in there, makes it feel so much more real.

Congratulations!! Wow your dates were off hehe. I'm "lucky" in that I know exactly the night our little beautiful accident happened lol. I'm having an £80 scan on Saturday at 8+6. I'm guessing yours was internal as they thought you were so early?

Oh that's good! I've only waited this long as I don't fancy an internal! Thanks for your post because I've been worried since reading other early scan posts and was even considering cancelling mine although deep down I know it's the right thing for me X
